<em>Makes 14 Sticks</em>
</p>
<p>In summer, we eat dill and corn in a simple sauté of fresh corn kernels and summer tomatoes. In cool weather, I like to serve these corn sticks with baked beans and coleslaw. You can substitute 1?2 cup whole-wheat flour for 1?2 cup white flour. If you don’t have corn stick molds, this recipe will make about a dozen muffins.</p>
<p>• Corn oil<br />
• 1 cup stone-ground cornmeal<br />
• 1 cup unbleached white flour<br />
• 1 tablespoon baking powder<br />
• ½ teaspoon salt<br />
• 2 large eggs<br />
• 1 cup cold water<br />
• 1 cup fresh corn kernels or frozen and thawed corn kernels<br />
• 5 tablespoons melted butter<br />
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill</p>
<p>1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously oil two corn-stick molds and preheat the molds for 10 to 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
2. Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, lightly beat eggs and combine them with water, corn kernels, melted butter and dill. <br />
<br />
3. Barely combine the liquid with the dry ingredients. Spoon the batter into the heated molds, filling each mold about three-quarters full. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the sticks are golden-brown. Serve hot.</p>
